Seguimos con repaso de Social Science. Vamos a repasar las cuatro fases principales de la Luna. Here goes!
- PHASES OF THE MOON
The moon goes around the Earth. As it goes around, the Sun lights up the moon and it looks as if it is changing shape. These different shapes are called "the phases of the moon".

| This is what we see from Earth. |
| New Moon: it looks almost completely dark! |  |
| First Quarter: we can see half of the Moon. It looks like a letter D. |  |
| Full Moon: we can see the whole Moon. It has a round shape. |  |
| Third Quarter: we can see half of the Moon. It looks like a letter D, but backwards! |  |
Os dejo una imagen de una actividad que podéis hacer con galletas para ver cómo va cambiando la luna en sus diferentes fases:
Here is a lovely story about the Moon, by Eric Carle:
También hemos aprendido que mientras en un lado de la Tierra es de día, en el otro es de noche, y que cambia cada 24 horas porque es lo que tarda la Tierra en rotar sobre sí misma.
On the side of the Earth that faces the Sun it is day. On the other side it is night. We sleep at night and wake up in the day. It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate on its axis.
Here is a great video about day and night:
